Dedicated to ProjectiGotCancer
________________________________________________________________
It weighed me down... like an anchor
Restraining a sail from the shore it yearns
The ocean within me; poisoned and deadly
The toxicity clawed at my skin; trapping me
There was a waging war; not on the outside
It was inside; it was in me, it was... my being
I am the war; for I battle against myself
But how do you win a war you are destined to lose
My breaths were silent; tired and lacking life
The chaos played with me... wrecked havoc in me
Just a little longer... I said to myself
One more minute... to live, to love
Just one more breath... to savor life without pain
Hold on... the voices screamed
I don't want to let this go... I don't want to say goodbye
I want to live... I want to see the stars and feel the wind
But the ocean within me hummed a melancholic song
It thrummed through me; rippling through my bloodstream
The white light shone brighter; the serenity unwinding
The shore didn't seem as far away
Maybe I can break free... from this demanding pain
The boundless war came to a halt
The corners of my lips tipped up in a peaceful smile
I let the waves crash and carry me far away into oblivion
Light as a feather I finally felt free falling into the unknown
At last I had learned to fall before taking a flight
I could breath... I could feel everything but the pain
The world blurred before growing smaller and disappearing eternally
Afloat in the wind, I let it guide me to the end of the horizon
Where I could live another life in another world...
Yours truly,
Hazel.
